About the book
Who are children of genetically modified soy production? What disowned bastards are produced by the hybridisation of agri-business, biotech, capital and culture? To answer these questions the Walking Archive embarks on a trip through the opaque and strange world of genetically modified soya plants in Argentina in search of its inhabitants, forms and structures, languages and narratives. In the style of Gulliver's Travels it makes visible some of the routes in the soya chain giving shape to a new international division of labour food policy in global semiocapitalism.
